There were reports of problems with the SD slot on the new Tungsten T3 devices, and pa1mOne has now released the anticipated update. This was the only real issue that kept me from even wanting to try one of these out, because I use my SD card with my Pocket PC and didn't want it erased. In addition to fixing the SD compatibility issue the update reduces unnecessary audio interrupts, which may appear to effect performance. There are explicit instructions for installing the update on your device. Thanks to PalmOne City for the link.

what a joke(5:12pm EST Fri Nov 07 2003)agree with palm lover-crappy kludge update reportedly didn't even work right first time-all these people are going bonkers over this-if u have to go thru this much trouble, what's the point in owning one?? i've never seen such a bunch of people fawning over such a flawed pda. constantly justifying how great it is (insert all the buts…) oh yeah, can use landscape mode with the oh so great battery life will luv to see if this fix really stops all the sd card broil or not-shoulda never caused people all their cards in 1st place-is Pa1m One gonna reimburse?? – by unimpressed

dumb(1:14am EST Sat Nov 08 2003)how about the sd card manufactures some of whom are reportedly reimbursing people-why should THEY be the ones to have to? – by not4me

What major software is incompatible with the T3 button layout?(1:50am EST Sat Nov 08 2003)I know my favorite games, notably Galax, aren't playable on the T3.I can't even figure out a way that Galax could be modified for the T3.

Are there other programs, perhaps more in the utility or teaching realm, that are unusable with the T3 button layout?

Didn't Palm realize that programs USE those buttons?Do they think people will write special software just for the T3? – by Kev, a Swing Dancer

N/A(9:36am EST Mon Nov 10 2003)ironically, if you goe to the palmone site the styleized text in the logo clearly uses a numeral “1” in place of the “l”. Perhaps you sould take up the spelling lesson with the folks there. Clearly palmone's marketing dept is sending a mixed message. – by rolls eyes

Good points on the “1”(10:16am EST Mon Nov 10 2003)If you look at different fonts, a “1” and a “l” look awfully the same. Heck, the Serif font I am typing in also looks close. If you paruse the palm site a bit, they do use a squared font, which seems to show it's palmOne.

Anywho, I don't care. I like the logo. And a logo is suppose to catch the eye. This one certainly did. Good catch Geek.com! – by mg

T3 ROM Update(2:27am EST Tue Nov 11 2003)Simply question. Embarrassed to ask. I follow the link to the pa1mOne site, click on the download for PC's – and nothing. No download. Same if I try the MAC download. I seem to be able to download anything else – but not the update. My T3 has already fried my Lexar SD disc. My PNY SD seems okay, but I don't want to risk it. Any help is welcome. – by Richard
